Dr. Terrone will doubtless be grateful for the Madeleine’s amazing Choir School and choral ensembles of the boys and girls enrolled there. And Msgr. Mannion’s foresight must not be forgotten in that reality.

Someone with a doctorate in mathematics and a postdoctoral fellowship in that same discipline with “studies” at the State Music Conservatory in Perugia, the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in Rome has been making a lot of music in Rome before coming to Salt Lake City!
